Been using AMD drivers for a couple of years now and only had the odd problem. Their biggest issue is getting Crossfire profiles out promptly, but otherwise saying they never have or never will make good drivers is just ignorant and false.

Can say one thing though, never had any AMD drivers nearly fry my card, unlike those infamous Nvidia drivers I almost lost my trusty 8800GT to.

Since the AMD takeover drivers have improved hugely, and since they've moved away from a month release cycle the quality has again risen.

AMD aren't the only ones who have driver issues, Nvidia has had their fair share too but since AMD had the bad name first it's stuck with them. At least AMD don't delete posts and threads from their forums about driver issues.

Funny how theres articles about new Nvidia Drivers but never about AMD. As of this nonsens of AMD drivers are worse well thats not actually true, at least not this gen. I started off a huge fan of the green team for years didnt take to ati as they where named back not soo long ago. But my mate said i got a card for sale na ati rubbish back then Ati wernt as good but he was selling me a card years on 4870HD not that old so i sold my old 8800gt and i was supprised at how much they changed. I kept that card till last year never had driver issue.... But then the gtx8800 never had issue eaither. But last year i spent about £800 building another Rig for myself Only this time i wanted to go back to green team its been while since 8800gtx. Great orderd 2 kfa2 560's my first SLi and got my other mate into pc gaming went well for few weeks then i got "display has recoverd". Wtf. Hmmm ok carryed on relaunched game well after updating several times sending cards back getting new 2months past i was left embarrest as my mate i just got into pc gaming had same setup as me and card and same issues. Every day i hit the fourums all saw was people screaming with TDR issues. January i bought a refrence design 7970 my m8 followed month after my other mate stuck his 6950 even after 4 updates not once have i had TDR. Except if i overclock push card too hard lol but... The morral of this pointless dribble is if anyone has got worse over the years dropped the ball its nvidia not AMD. Will i go back ....... NO Not as long as they keep using same drivers developed cheaply by same people who handled the 500series witch now does drivers for 600series BTW fourums filled complaints with 600series funny that.

Alienware is not rediculously overpriced, Its a stretch to say they even cost over 10% more than their competition. And Alienware has more than a few advantages over other companies. -Alienware has unmatched support. Your laptop breaks down for a reason that isnt your fault, It will either be fixed, replaced, or you will be sent replacement parts in days. -The Build quality is top notch, right now, I could take my laptop, hold it over my head and drop it onto a hardwood floor and I would bet you money it still works. -The cooling systems in Alienware laptops are top notch. Built with overclocking and High power equipment in mind, then some more. -Swag appeal, Lets face it, you can actually get away with bragging about an alienware laptop which doest look like an over sized netbook. -FEATURES- You name it, an alienware laptop probably has two of it.
